Hi All,
Its been a long time. Ive been really well this past few years thanks to remicade. ive been on it nearly 3 years and after a good 6 months or more of messing with dosage and frequency i reached remission. i was so good i went back and did a course which qualified me to be a healthcare assistant. i didnt stop there and applied for college and got in. ive just finished my 1st year of a 4 year nursing degree.
I was forgetting i had a chronic disease and decided to try an go off remicade as a trial to see how i'd do.
Naturally enough the first few months were ok as the drug was still in my system but 3 weeks ago I started to get symptoms. slowly but surely its been getting worse and then the blood came back.
What was i thinking?
Saw my GI yesterday and she said no messing about and I needed to get back on it asap. Had to get a chest xray and new mantoux test for TB and Im good to go.
Maybe i needed a reminder but im grateful that my GI made the decision.
thanks for reading
